Wow! Tough one, but interesting and informative too! Keep 'em coming!
Leo should be in April as well.
Ok, after the last teaser, with the horses, I was bound and determined to get this one. I did look at the hint and searched online, but it still took me over 45 minutes to finally get all the answers. Still, I have to say there is a certain sense of satisfaction completing such a tough and well-prepared teaser. GREAT job!
